From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing OLENTANGEY (D. O. Rawdon). TB, 30", M-L. Medium to deep brown with yellow-orange beard and a gold rim around the falls, the flower has a glimmering appearance. Color is clean, and the bloom has closed standards and semi-flaring falls, wide parts. It is nicely ruffled and of heavy substance, well branched with high bud count. Vigorous plant. Brown Duet x Minee. $25.00. Louise Rowdon. Olen selected and registered this iris before his death. He was very proud of it, and those who knew him know he had very high standards that he applied in judging seedlings. It is a superb iris, a fitting memorial for the man.
